To Lake Placid!

 

Flying in or out of Anchorage on a sunny day can make for great views out the window. This is the Chugach Range just behind Girdwood.

As is often the case, February was very busy. We flew back to Anchorage from Colorado a few weeks ago. We had a series of four RMISA races in Alaska, including the RMISA Championships.  I spent a week in Wisconsin. Then we had a few days of training and here we are in Lake Placid, New York, for the NCAA Championships. Most of the team caught a cold after our series of Alaska RMISA races, but we're recovering and hoping for good things a couple days from now, here at the NCAA Championships. 

Arriving at the Team House here in Lake Placid.

This is our rental car. Trond parked it in the wrong spot and they put a bubble around it! Can you believe that?

Decisions...

Every once in a while, Toom, Trond and I can break free for a little coaches training session. Today we made a lap around the 1980 Olympic 50km course. What a fantastic race trail that was - and is!
